Dear Denise,

Chris Chalkley, chairman of PRSC, will finally appear at Bristol Magistrates’ Court on Friday 12th March 2010 at 10am. Mr. Chalkley is accused of Criminal Damage, having painted a sign on the 5102 Building at the bottom of Stokes Croft between 28/8/09 and 1/9/09, allegedly causing damage of between £150 and £200.
As the days lengthen, the demand for sites to paint increases. Stokes Croft’s growing reputation for Artistic Excellence in its public spaces means that people are queuing to paint here.
